You're misread what I put where?

It clearly states....

Edit lib/MyApp/View/HTML.pm and you should see something similar to the following:

    __PACKAGE__->config(
        TEMPLATE_EXTENSION => '.tt',
        render_die => 1,
    );


And that's where I put the extension setting?

Sorry, but you're wrong.

The tutorial says:

"Edit lib/MyApp/View/HTML.pm and you should see something similar to the following:"

The OP says: "As per the tutorial I've added the following to the config section of MyApp.pm"

So, the OP has done something totally different to what the tutorial says, and thus it will behave differently.

If he moves that line to inside the View (as the tutorial suggests), it'll work.

If he moves it to inside the 'View::HTML' block in MyApp.pm, thus namespacing it into the appropriate component, it'll work.

Where it is right now - it will be ignored.

Cheers
